The compiler emitted an inline string array as the second argument to $.rest_props(...), and the runtime did a linear Array.prototype.includes on it on every property access via the rest-props Proxy.

The exclude list only depends on the component definition, not on the instance, so it can be hoisted to module scope and shared by every instance. Switching it to a Set at the same time makes each lookup O(1).

For a component like <Button ...rest /> rendered N times, this turns one per-instance allocation (plus a linear search on every rest-prop access) into one module-scope allocation plus O(1) lookups.

The legacy $$restProps path is unchanged — it mutates the exclude list in its deleteProperty trap, so it can't share a hoisted Set across instances.

The compiler emitted an inline string array as the second argument to
`$.rest_props(...)`. The runtime did a linear `Array.prototype.includes`
on this array on every property access via the rest-props Proxy.

instance, so it can be hoisted to module scope and shared by every
instance. Switching it to a `Set` at the same time makes each lookup
O(1).

For a component like `<Button ...rest />` rendered N times, this turns
one per-instance allocation (and N * E linear searches per access, where
E is the exclude size) into one module-scope allocation plus O(1)
lookups.

I'm not completely sure why Tests (24, ubuntu-latest) fails, the other ones are fine 🤔
